KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Clinical

To contribute to the maintenance of patient care standards and to assist with the implementation of changes to care delivery systems, methods and practice in order to bring about improvements in the quality of care

To contribute to the development and implementation of personal professional standards which reflect customer requirements and best practice

Carry out planned care for a group of patients as part of the surgical team providing individualised patient care working collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team

Maintain accurate and contemporaneous patient records in line with professional standards

Have responsibility for the administration and custody of medicines in line with SPH policy and professional standards

Adhere to professional standards, highlighting to the line manager when standards are not seen to be met

Undertake practice assessments competently

Maintain accurate clinical observations of the patient and act accordingly on findings

Act as the patient advocate

Be clinically competent in all areas of clinical practice relevant to the post and banding

Ensure own professional knowledge is continuously updated

Work with the teams to attain and maintain a CQC rating of Good or Outstanding

You will play an important role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality, patient-centred care and maintaining professional standards within the theatre setting. This is an exciting opportunity for a compassionate, forward-thinking clinician who is ready to be part of a skilled team, with a family atmosphere.

Key recommendations to ensure safe surgical practice

The role of the theatre scrub/recovery/anaesthetic practitioner should be undertaken by someone who has successfully completed a validated university programme of study that meets the nationally recognised standards underpinning the knowledge and skills required for the role

Theatre Scrub/Recovery/Anaesthetic Practitioners must ensure that they have appropriate indemnity cover

The Theatre Scrub/Recovery/Anaesthetic Practitioner scope of practice may be extended in line with service need

The Theatre Scrub/Recovery/Anaesthetic Practitioner s name and designation must be recorded within the perioperative documentation.

The practitioner acting as Scrub Practitioner must be focused upon the management of the intraoperative care required by the patient and therefore must not assume the additional duties such as that of the SFA.

In the event, that an employer considers that a dual role is required in minor surgery, then this must only be undertaken by a registered practitioner and the decision should be endorsed by a policy that fully supports this practice and should also be based on a risk assessment of each situation to ensure patient safety.

The policy and risk assessment should identify the skills, knowledge and competencies required and the category of surgery and situations for which the employing organisation determines the dual role as acceptable. If this is not in place, as part of an effective clinical governance framework, then scrub practitioners must NOT undertake SFA duties in a dual role.
